Thanks for the reply (I have only just seen it when another person answered the question for me as well.) It was for my husband who wanted to know, he couldn't be bothered to put the question on IMDB

According to Internet Movie Car Data Base, its a 1949 Triumph 2000 Roadster [TRA] .

The diff atween the 1800 and 2000 is a larger engine, and 'sportier' transmission and rear axle in the latter. You can't tell um apart with a casual look.

Thanks for the reply. It was for my husband who really wanted to know, he couldn't be bothered to put the question on IMDB.
